The Experience

Esta é uma casa de Ana no meio do mato, sempre cheia de coisas para fazer. Valorizamos a flexibilidade, a limpeza, o amor e a paz, senso de humor, a arte, a proatividade, a natureza. Dou prioridade à procura de voluntários que já tenham experiência em trabalhar com construção: telhados, madeiras, concreto, mosaica e etc. A casa fica a 20 km de Paraty e a 2 km do Patrimônio. Há ônibus, enviarei os horários após a confirmação

In the beginning it was alright and we helped out with planning trees a little but all of the other work was just cleaning her house and the outside floor which felt very off. the communication was bad and the host was border crossing. there was delicious fruit and some vegetables and we got some lunch but it didn't really feel comfortable to eat as the host told us how to and made us deep clean the whole kitchen by ourselves after - while she was sitting with her feet in ice water which she told us to provide for her. it felt like dirty work and not what we agreed on unfortunately

The host made me extremely uncomfortable, telling me how to use the toilet by leading me into the restroom and providing an example. Taking my fork out of my hand while eating. She made uncomfortable jokes often. Smacked my girlfriend ass and legs. Whole place was extremely unsanitary and unpleasant. Upsides decent WiFi and beautiful river. I think she had good intentions but delivered as wrong as possible. She asked of me to pour water on her legs while she was not well clothed. Food was unclean. Work was unorganized and not what we signed up for. Overall 0/10

Mi experiencia fue grata, ana tuvo muy buena disposición desde el dia 1, nos fue a buscar al camino ya que estabamos un poco perdidos, la comida muy rica, siempre con energia de enseñarnos y mostrarnos la realidad local, llegar al proyeto fue una conección tiquisima con la naturaleza, el medio ambiente, el reciclaje y sensibilizarse en otras maneras de vivir.

Fue buena! Ana es una persona con mucha personalidad. Quizá por tantas experiencias está un poco cansada de caer en los mismos patrones de demanda hacia los voluntarios, creo que existen varias alternativas para eso, pero por lo demás, es un espacio real. Rodeado de floresta y con una vida típica del brasileiro promedio. Si sabes como manejarte vas a aprender mucho y valorar cada gesto. Se come bien y uno se divierte hablando con Ana, quien tiene una hisptira de vida muy interesante

Foi muito bom o voluntariado, tive contato direto com a natureza, a casa fica bem na mata nativa mesmo, mas é ótimo o lugar. O trabalho é tranquilo, recomendo a experiência.
